Harlan’s inappropriate laughter filled the room.

Just a maid? Marcus’ cold glance silenced Harlan.
Shaking his head in bewilderment, Harlan continued to watch Marcus.

It was strange to see Marcus so affected by a woman. His nervousness over the
phone had revealed the girl was with Bruce, and it unsettled Marcus.

happily in the car, but now his face was set in a cold expression, his eyes
clouded with annoyance.
